AI for Full-Self Driving

Tesla is at the leading edge of making self-driving cars a reality. By introducing Smart Summon in 2019, the company deployed the first real-world self-driving technology available to consumers. Through overnight updates, new elements are deployed regularly.

Though dense and fast-paced, this talk by Tesla’s AI leader Andrej Karpathy illuminates for the non-specialist some of the technical challenges Tesla is confronting as it develops viable self-driving cars.
